I have used them for over a year now and have no major complaints. My only issue is one month I got hit by their click discount and lost about 30% of my revenue. Outside of that now, they discount out of area clicks right away, and rarely do I see adjustments of more than a few percent. I think one month in the early days payment was a little late, but I have not had any late payments since then.
Can work really well on some sites, in some cases out peforming adsense and such substantially. However, a lot of sites you won't get any clicks at all, so it is worth playing around with.

Well its not to bad....just that they do a audit at the end of the month...So say you make about 200 dollars they will check to make sure the clicks you got was not bogus...unlike adsense most of the time what you earn at the end of the month is what you get...

What i was talking about is that chitika does audits... Yea ur right either your in good standing or your banned with adsense, maybe thats would i should had said thanxs:rasta:
Adsense does audits on the fly. Most invalid clicks are audited out before they show up in your stats. Chitika has a bit of lag. They do filter for regions they do not pay out, but the invalid clicks still come at the end of the month audit. So it is like a super delayed reporting compared to Adsense.
chitika started out good, I was doing just over $1000 a month with them this time last year. I took them off my sites because for 2 months I was doing good to get $.20 a click. I doubled my traffic and the # of clicks went up but they are such a pain that I just left adsense in there place, guess what? adsense is up both volume and average payout is up almost 15%
Indeed Chitika was extremely good when they started. About a year ago I started using them and averaged about $300-350 a day for a few weeks. But then they started altering the ads to reduce the CTR and advertisers started lowering the CPC. A few months later the CTR was about 2.5-3x lower and the EPC dropped from an average of $0.60 to $0.20.
I don't know if it will work well on your gadget site but you can give it a try. Chitika can be trusted, they've always paid me.
